Others have worked themselves out of a stutter long before I did. Not only that, they have documented it down. Rather than re-invent the wheel. I decided to follow in their footsteps. Rather than wait for the experts to find the root cause of stuttering. I’m only concerned about getting out of the maze. I don’t care what the maze looks like.

For the past 3 years I’ve been going hard on the non-avoidance side of speaking. I was going out and putting myself into dangerous speaking situations, trying to de-sensitize the fear. However my progress was slow. Then I sat down and thought to myself. They say that sky divers get more and more frightened every time they perform a jump. Until it becomes unbearable for some and they end up have nightmares. Then it occurred to me, that they wish to sky dive because of the buzz. The adrenaline rush. So instead of the fear going down, it goes up. It goes up because they do its because its both frightening and dangerous at the same time. I’m the opposite I want my fear to go down every time I speak. So instead of putting myself into a dangerous situation I tell myself it is safe.
